Easy gradient editor
I've installed and worked with this software I think it is great, but I miss a better gradient editor, like that one in most graphic design software (i.e. Fireworks). I mean it would be a good idea that you could add a stop with a click, and remove it dragging it out of the window.
Whiteboard
All gradient editing capabilities is available right on-canvas, no need for a cludgy dialog that older programs use. With the gradient tool, you can assign or reposition a gradient, add and remove color stops directly on-canvas, and manipulate gradients in ways other tools don't have available. If you prefer a dialog though, we even have the old dialog available if that's your preference. You would select an object with the select tool, go into the Fill & Stroke dialog, and click the edit gradient button.
